When we heard about Eiji Salon's Noiraudepro Cashmere Treatment, a super hair revitalizer that promises to make strands stronger and shinier, we, and our limp locks, were all in! The beauty (no pun indended) is that although the treatment involves keratin, it's safe for ALL hair typescolor treated, chemically straightened, or just plain parchedand it doesn't straighten hair, this is simply an intense restoration treatment, so straight haired and curly girls can benefit.

After getting one of the most relaxing shampoos ever (just shampoo--no conditioner), colorist/Noiraudepro expert Jess Hong surveyed our strands and proclaimed that this treatment would be perfect to reverse the heat and chemical damage we were suffering from. Then, inch-thick section by section, he sprayed three types of keratin on our hair"low," for milder damage from roots to ends, "middle" for hair that's a bit more damaged applied in between roots and ends and "high" for more severe damage just on the ends. A product called CMC was then used to bind the keratins and add moisture and strength. We set under a heat lamp for 15 minutes and then the whole process was repeated, this time another product called Chitoaqua was added to make hair soft and frizz free. After another 15 minutes under the dryer, we were ready for a rinse and another touch of conditioner.

Afterwards, we took our newfound shiny, bouncy locks over to stylist Jiset for a blowout and trim. This is when you really see the shine and we swear our hair already looked thicker. Jiset cut our hair with such gentle precisionshe's not at all "scissor happy"that we were told our hair looked longer afterwards. At $150 for just the treatment, the whole process which took close to 3 hours is pricey and a time investment. But the results were so worth it. Jess advises his clients to get a treatment about every 4-6 weeks (or whenever your hair is feeling especially damaged). We can't stop touching our newly softer hair that feels a lot like, well cashmere!
